Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Hoshino Hideyuki:?

Chapter 103 A Clever Fox Won't Get Caught in a Twisted Field

God!

What am I doing?!

Ugh, so embarrassing... but also kind of exciting...

No, this is all to hide our identities, we have to stay calm!

After saying this, Iji Chikiku's lips twitched involuntarily, and her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, not unlike Asuka's just now—but considering that she was now playing the role of a drunken bad woman, this could not be considered a slip-up.

In fact, Asuka Tendo on the other side had completely believed it.

There can't be any mistake!

This tall, red-haired woman is definitely the kind of female hooligan who likes to harass handsome young men, just like those scumbags who randomly pick up girls on the streets of Shibuya. She started clinging to them because she was attracted to the fox's face!

No, I have to get rid of this guy!

It's not about protecting foxes... These dangerous adults should be driven away to ensure the smooth running of the school festival... Anyway, it has nothing to do with foxes!

"Hey! Don't you dare lay a hand on me!"

Asuka Tendo grabbed Kikuri Iji's wrist and pulled her away from Hideyuki Hoshino.

"When someone tries to strike up a conversation, if they leave, it means they've rejected you. Why would you chase after them and continue? That's clearly harassment!"

Ichiki raised an eyebrow.

Great, it seems my role-playing worked.

Now, if I just pretend to back down and leave, I can resolve this crisis!

but……

I feel a little unhappy for some reason.

I'm harassing a fox?

You've got it backwards!

And if I'm considered harassment, then what are you, the Onmyoji? You're directly threatening his life!

No, I can't just leave like this.

Since it's acting, let's just go all the way!

"what?"

Iji Chikiku, hands on her hips, used her height and figure to look down at Tendo Asuka and said:

"Didn't I tell you, a little kid who hasn't even grown all his feathers shouldn't meddle in adult matters? The happiness I can give my little brother... well, you can't even imagine it~"

The fur... it's not even fully grown yet...

Quick, happy...

Asuka Tendo jumped up immediately!

"You gigantism! Aren't you ashamed at all?!"

"Gigantism? Ha, hehe, you're just jealous because I can see scenery you can't!"

"hateful……"

Two beauties, one tall and one short, stared at each other, almost head to head like bulls.

At that moment, Asuka Tendo suddenly remembered Hideyuki Hoshino.

Yes, let that dead fox come out and support me, then that female hooligan will have nothing to say!

She then turned her head away.

Ijichi Kikuri was curious about Hoshino Hideyuki's reaction, so she turned her head as well.

The two beauties looked at the fox at the same time and said:

"Hey, who do you think we are...?"

Huh?

Where is the fox?

In the middle of them, where the fox should have been standing, there was now only an elderly cleaning lady with a hunched back sweeping the floor.

Sensing the two gazes converging on him, the old cleaner raised his wrinkled head and said in a hoarse voice:

"Young ladies, are you looking for that handsome young man from earlier?"

Asuka Tendo nodded: "Yes, Grandpa, do you know where he went?"

“An ice cream truck just passed by and said he could try it for free, so he went over... Haha, looks like a young man who really craves sugar. When you're vying for his attention, you can try starting by offering him sweets.”

Struggle, struggle, struggle and fight?

"I...I didn't! I was just maintaining order on campus!"

Asuka Tendo stomped her foot.

That wretched fox! Not only did she not help me chase away the female hooligan, but she was also seduced away by a mere ice cream!

Wait!

Once I put you in a cage, you'll have ice cream for every meal, three times a day. Let's see if you can finish it all!

With that thought in mind, Asuka Tendo puffed out her cheeks and left like a pufferfish.

Ijichi Kikuri blinked.

Immediately, she covered her burning face with her hands in fear.

What have I just done...?

I used my index finger to lift his chin. I hope he won't get angry... Oh, I don't think so. I've done much worse before... But pretending to be a female hooligan is still so embarrassing!

Although it was a little bit exciting, it was mostly embarrassing!

Luckily, the fox escaped, otherwise I don't know how I would have ended up like this.

Ichiki breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go and chat with Yamada Airi to ease her mind.

Well, let's just pretend nothing happened!

After the two women left one after the other.

The cleaner straightened his back, adjusted his hat, and instantly transformed into a handsome Tokyo guy.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

Hoshino Hideyuki let out a sigh of relief and said:

"Although I enjoy watching women fight, I'd rather not be their trophy."

"Luckily, I, the fox, am incredibly clever and foresaw this situation in advance!"

"Speaking of which... I really want some ice cream..."

ten minutes later.

The fox bought an ice cream, an eight-scoop pack with all the different flavors, and while licking it, it secretly found Ichikiku.

The latter indeed pretended that nothing had happened—unfortunately, the fox could not hide its racing heartbeat from its ears.

However, Hideyuki Hoshino didn't point it out.

Because foxes are perfect creatures that are naturally tolerant of others!

Fox Gate!

Next.

While carefully avoiding Asuka Tendo, they continued to enjoy the Toryo High School festival.

First, they followed the girl's advice and tried the Literature Club's desserts, which were indeed quite delicious—hmm, this is the fox's approval, Literature Club should feel honored!

Next, they went to the haunted house that Hayami Yumiko's class had set up.

And then I was really scared...

However, I wasn't scared by the various monsters the students were dressed up as.

Instead, it was Sadako, dressed as Hayami, who tried to crawl out of the television set, but because she was too big, her upper body got stuck, and she burst into tears. This frightened the human and the fox, who rushed to help her in a panic...

cough cough...

after an hour.

"This is what youth is all about!"

After visiting the cultural festival, Hoshino Hideyuki and Ijichi Kikuri thanked the two children for their invitation and began their journey home.

On the way, Hoshino Hideyuki told Iji Chikiri the whole story of how he met Tendo Asuka.

"Huh? A raccoon dog actually broke in... He was the one who threw that bucket of dirty water too..."

Kikuri Ijichi covered her mouth in surprise.

But after the initial surprise, a touch of melancholy crept into her heart...

This interesting event happened to the fox and the onmyoji together, but she wasn't involved.

Yes, in the end, she's just an ordinary person.

Although his physique is somewhat special, especially his strength is increasing, he has not yet deviated from the scope of normal humans.

Isn't this state somewhat unacceptable for an accomplice?

As Ichikiku was thinking, she secretly tugged at the fox's sleeve.

Hideyuki Hoshino turned his head to the side.

"what happened?"

"that……"
